Spain Part 2 – Food & Drink

Today I am back with Spain Part 2 – Food & Drink. You could probably call this post decadence, indulgence or submersion into the culture of food and drink. In short, we tried it all, took it all in and and 100% embraced the coffee, food, tapas, afternoon siestas and late night(s) out. Our time […]

The Mid South Gravel – 2022 Edition

Today I am sharing some words and images from the 2022 Mid South gravel bike race & ride. It’s been a few years since I’ve ridden this event. I wish I could entirely blame covid for that but I can’t! I went to Mid South on a mission to ride 1st and take pictures 2nd. I needed this ride and event. I can also tell you from my personal experience that I think a lot of other folks needed it too.

Sunny So Cal – Learning, Processing & Intuition

ast week I journeyed to sunny, Southern California. I was on a bit of a personal journey. I went for a hands on class to learn some new skills. Honestly, I didn’t fully know the purpose of this journey other than I knew I needed to do it. In the end, I came home to endless processing and thinking.

2021 – My year in photos

It’s that time of year again where many look back and prepare for a new year. I am one of those people. This activity is really hard wired in my brain. I need to look back not only to learn, but to truly put the year to rest and file it away. This year was […]

Finding Words and Inspiration in this Strange Time

I have been silent here on the blog. My last post was from January, what now seems like years ago. Travel? Hanging out with friends? Walking a new city? Eating out? This past 5 or so weeks at home makes that trip feel like a distant memory. Times sure are different now. This “Shut In” […]

Reflections on Seattle

I was fortunate to get to celebrate my friend, and friendships, in Seattle last weekend. It was a short trip arranged by my close friend’s wife. When asked to go I jumped at the opportunity. Any time I can garner time and experiences with these two fine fellas is worth any amount of $$ or […]

Gnat’s Ozark Ramble

As I write this, I am buried in work. Not caught up on my fall home owner chores. We had our first dinner as our family unit in two weeks and only the second or third in the past 6 weeks. Life. Is. Nuts. But…..I find myself energized, inspired and at peace. Why? Aside from […]

Views from Vietnam, Cambodia and Taiwan

Greetings folks. Just got back from a big, long work trip Vietnam, Cambodia and Taiwan. It was a long few weeks on the road. But an amazing one. I use these trips as a springboard for creativity and use photography to keep me aware, awake and inspired. I often walk and explore where ever I […]

The Great Catch Up Post of 2019

It’s been a LOOOOOONNNNNGGGG time coming, but I am finally taking a moment to catch up on the gnat blog and fill you all in on what has been happening. As much as things change, some things stay the same. My spring and summer has been filled with bikes, family and photography. As I look […]

Ireland – The Postcard Series

I can’t believe it’s been two weeks since I’ve been back from Ireland. While the two weeks seem like an eternity, I can close my eyes and immediately go back. It was an incredible trip. Filled with surprise and delight, some drama back home with our dog and the final challenge of getting home as […]

Iceland – First 10 Images

I have spent the last several hours processing images from my recent winter wonderland, Ring Road tour of Iceland I’ll be honest, I did not think I was going to get good images considering that on day two, my main camera decided to stop working (later resolved and story to come). But I got some […]
